The Boom Boom Performance Podcast

This episode's guest is a returning guest and the absolute best person to talk about a topic we're very passionate about... Science vs. Experience! The truth is, being "Evidence Based" is the combination of these two things. Yet many people online nowadays do not practice in the trenches nearly enough to have the experience required to make truly educated decisions, especially when the coaching decisions needing to be made are in opposition of what the scientific literature might say. So today, Chris Barakat runs through some touchy-topics with us and challenges the scientific literature... we discuss fasted cardio, reverse dieting, high carb vs. low carb diets, training intensity, and more… Follow Chris on Instagram @christopher.barakat and check out his website at www.schoolofgainz.com —- To Download The Tailored Trainer and Gain Unlimited Access To Expert Programming, Sign Up Here: Tailored Trainer Sign Up Page To Get Your Questions Answered On The Podcast: Ask Us Here! 1st Phorm Supps: To Get FREE PRIORIT

Today we have our Chief Science Officer on the podcast to collaborate on a Q&A episode! We take all of our answers one step further by providing actual evidence from the scientific research, to support our claims, guidance, and specific methods. The topics covered are: Hypertrophy Periodization -- Any updated thoughts or opinions? More researchers coming out, but nothing conclusive... So what does your gut say is best? Exercise Variation -- Is there research to support a specific amount of frequency/variety? How should newer coaches (or serious trainees) go about learning from research, without getting overwhelmed or misinterpreting the literature? Large vs. slow vs. moderate calorie deficits for fat loss -- based on all the research you've seen and your own experience, which route do you think is most effective? Two-a-days for body composition results -- what's your conclusive thoughts after writing the article? —- To Download The Tailored Trainer and Gain Unlimited Access To Expert Programming, Sign Up

Todays' discussion is a deep dive into what makes someone a TRULY evidence based trainer... which is NOT just science, it's having loads of experience and anecdotal evidence from IN THE TRENCHES (aka the gym).

This Q&A goes from meat causing cancer to cardio for fat loss to the best journals on the market... we go all over the place! But it's organized and informative, so we think you'll enjoy it! There was a new study recently linking cancer and red meat consumption; which isn't the first of its kind. However, like all the others... it doesn't really have us concerned and in this podcast, we'll tell you why. We'll also go into what it means to look at a correlation vs. a causation, when looking into research on any topic. We also talk quite a bit about the metabolism as you diet and how it relates to the dieting process, the reverse process, and it's dynamic nature in regards to cardio. Ultimately this podcast sets you up with a plan on how to understand your metabolism while dieting, read your biofeedback better, and therefore make the proper adjustments to reverse diet. During this, we answer another question comparing LISS and HITT for fat loss. Finally, we chat about journals and Cody shares his top 4 jour

Today's guest is Jackson Peos -- PhD Researcher, Sports Nutritionist, and Physique Coach. He's been on the show before, so you know it's for a good reason! And in this episode, he brings the heat! In fact, in some ways we stir up some controversy by taking shots at the evidence based community... which may come as a surprise to you, since we're both in there. He's a researcher, I'm a science driven coach, and we have another researcher on staff here at TCM. But it's not that we're AGAINST the science or don't value it; far from that actually. It's that Jackson and I both agree that there are aspects of the researcher that are making people weaker in their training, lazy in their diets, and full of excuses for their success. I know, brutal. But we have some evidence and a lot of experience to back up our claims. So I not only think you'll really just enjoy this conversation, but I also think you NEED to hear this conversation to optimize everything you do in your training and nutrition. You can find Jackson on
